| Allison Hi! My name's Allison, and I'm 13 years old. I only recently started writing fanfiction, and the only experience I had had before with writing was when I tried to write a story in fourth grade about a guy who lies about being a ghost because he likes a girl. Please, I know, just don't even ask! But I guess that just proves that I've been a hopeless romantic even before I knew it! The day I saw 'The Mummy', I had been hanging out with one of my friends all day, and we decided to go to a movie. Nothing really was in theatres, besides that, but neither of us particularly wanted to see it. We thought it might be interesting, compared to the other films, so we went to the theatre to see it. I've always been scared of everything my whole life, especially of scary movies, so right when the movie started and on the screen was the big 'Universal Studios' globe picture, with the music starting up in the background, I kept thinking, 'Oh this was a bad idea, bad, bad idea. I'm going to be so scared after this movie is done. This was a bad idea. Very, very bad!' But I stayed and watched it anyway. When the movie was all done, and the hero and the heroine and her brother were all riding off into the sunset, I was thinking, 'Oh, well, that wasn't that bad!' We went out to the parking lot where my mom was parked (she had gone to see a different movie at the same time) and parked right next to our van was a big, black hearse. It was a little freaky! But that night, I wasn't scared in the least! Right after I saw the movie, I thought, 'Oh okay, that was a pretty good movie. I liked it. If they had a sequel I would see it.'...you know, common thoughts like that, but as time passed on and a few weeks went by, I realized that I loved that movie, and I wanted to see it again! I guess that saying is true, 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder!' Anyway, that's my first experience with 'The Mummy'. So now I think I'm supposed to talk about why I like reading and writing 'The Mummy' fanfic. Reading it--because I love the movies and Rick and Evelyn's romance just about captured me, making me want to read romance fanfics about them all day long, trying to picture it all in my mind, wishing it could have somehow happened in the movie. And writing it--because I wanted to stretch my legs and try to write again, after my story disaster in fourth grade. And, I figured no one would mind if I wrote more Rick/Evelyn romance stories, which are mostly all I write. Why do I like the films? Well...I think it's because it's kind of fast-paced, it sort of keeps you on your toes, waiting and wondering what's going to happen and how they're going to beat Imhotep and his dirty wench of a girlfriend, Anck-su-namun (I really hate her). And then they have all those one-liners in there, like "Ugh! What is that god-awful stench?...Oh..." and "Hey O'Connell! It looks to me like I've got all the horses!.......Hey, Beni! Looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the river!" and "Jonathan! It's not worth your life!....Yes it is! Yes it is! <grabs the diamond> Pull me up! Pull me up!" and "Is that gold?" and "Why did you kiss me?....I dunno, seemed like a good idea at the time. Hey, what'd I say?". I could go on for hours, reciting lines from these movies, but I think you get my drift! Anyway, it's comedy, it's action, it's adventure, and to top it all off, ROMANCE. I think that basically puts it on the good list for me. Evelyn and Rick's relationship just seems so real, and I think one of the reasons I love this movie so much is because of that relationship. It just goes to show that you really shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, because if Evelyn had, she and Rick wouldn't be together today. Every time I watch the movie now, and it's the scene in the first movie where Evelyn and Jonathan are in the prison and Evelyn sees Rick for the first time and he sees her, I just want to yell at them..."Haha! That's your future spouse!" It would just be great...sigh...I really am quite pathetic when it comes to these movies. So...now onto interesting things! Like...me! Hehe, I don't really mean that in a arrogant way, but I already put in the required text of my profile, so now I get to talk about other things. So...right now I'm writing a story with a friend of mine, Whitney, and hopefully that will be up and running soon. I would tell you about it, but I don't want to spoil it, so you're just going to have to be patient and wait! Hehe, patience is a virtue! Haha, well, at least I crack myself up...Anyway, I have two sisters, who don't really have any obsessions with movies (can't say I don't) and a best friend who hates 'The Mummy' and 'The Mummy Returns', which just goes to show you that maybe opposites do attract. However, when about ten of my other friends and I went to see 'The Mummy Returns' she came with us. Don't ask me why! No boyfriend--though there's this really cute kid who sits in front of me in one of my classes. Very cute and sweet. Anyway, I'm not sure why I put that, so just bear with me, kay? I don't really want to bore you with mind-bogglingly stupid stories, so if you're even still reading this by now, I hope that you enjoy my stories and email me if you need any questions answered ([email protected]) Hope to hear from you soon! |
